Giving Thanks

Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than the abundance itself… ~ Rumi

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light. Give thanks for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. And if perchance you see no reason for giving thanks, rest assured the fault is in yourself.
– Chief Tecumseh –

Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot. – Unknown

Give thanks for all the opportunities that even our struggles bring. – Unknown

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.- Oprah Winfrey

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful. – Buddha

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts. – Henri Frederic Amiel

It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment. – Naomi Williams

One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay ‘in kind’ somewhere else in life. – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Giving Thanks

It’s easy to forget the abundance I enjoy and take it for granted. But from time to time I do count my many blessings and give thanks……And the more I reflect on my abundance the more I have to be grateful for…….

My top 5 blessings I recall today in no particular order are:
1. Life and health
2. My husband and his support
3. My family and their love
4. Access to books/ the internet
5. Nature and its abundance

Stop a moment today and recall just 5 things you are thankful for…What are they?
